Let's get to know our history!
History
of Zoologico club
1995
is the mark of the new beginning, the sage began when a group of veterinary
students led by Mohammad Hatta, a fourth year student tried to establish a
bird-watching club for students of the faculty of veterinary medicine of UPM
that are interested. The need for a club that focus on afar larger scope of
wildlife give birth to wildlife club.
However,
due to lack of activities, the club began to slag off few months after it
began. Luckily, things began to heat up in September 1996; Hasnul and his
committee members successfully re-established the club's nursery to mother
arphaned baby animal, an ingenious idea from Dr. Nadzariah Cheng as the club
advisor.
A
few months later, they realized a need for a moe generalized club to
accommodate a wider range of veterinary fields, and thus the Zoologico club was
born in December 1996. The aim of Zoologico club is to be animal lovers club
which is the only club that has that purpose in UPM.
Fully
run by the veterinary students themselves and at the same time acts as the
subdiary-club of the faculty's main veterinary student's association, Veternak.
However, the club membership is to be priority only to veterinary students of
UPM.
The
club also associated with the Malaysian Nature Society (MNS), SPCA Selangor,
PAWS & International Veterinary Students Association (IVSA) in order to
encourage its members to obtain more field experiences, to handle a wider scope
of academically-alien challenges, and at the same time committing themselves
towards charity work in animal welfare.
